Notes: The Yankees
played their first World Series without Babe Ruth and their first
with Joe DiMaggio. ... In Game 2, the Yankees tagged the Giants for
17 hits, including Tony Lazzeri's grand slam, only the second in Series
history

Screwball pitcher Carl Hubbell, who
paced the National League in both wins (26) and ERA (2.31), mastered the
Yankees in Game 1, scattering seven hits in nine innings for a 6-1 victory.
The outcome was in doubt until the bottom of the eighth, when the Giants
scored four times.

The slugging Yankees lived up to their reputation in Game 2, hammering
five different Giants hurlers for 17 hits and 18 runs. Bill Dickey and
Tony Lazzeri each drove in five runs, four of Lazzeri's RBI coming on
his third-inning grand slam, only the second in Series history. Lefty
Gomez was the beneficiary of that offense, going the distance to gain
credit for the 18-4 blowout.

Game 3, in Yankee Stadium, was an entirely different kind of affair.
Lou Gehrig homered in the bottom of the second inning, Jimmy Ripple homered
in the top of the fifth, and after seven-plus innings the score was
still tied at one. In the bottom of the eighth, the Yankees scored
on Frank Crosetti's single off the glove of starter Freddie Fitzsimmons'
glove, and Pat Malone pitched a scoreless ninth to save the American Leaguers'
2-1 victory.

The Bombers made it three straight with a 5-2 win in Game 4, with Monte Pearson
going nine innings to beat Hubbell.

In Game 5, the Giants went up 3-0 --
on a trio of RBI singles in the first inning, but Yankees starter Red Ruffing
settled down and the score was 4-4 after six innings. In the top of the 10th,
player-manager Bill Terry gave the Giants
a 5-4 edge with a sacrifice fly to center field. The game ended that way
when Yankee pinch-runner Bob Seeds was thrown out trying to steal second
base. Hal Schumacher was the winner, pitching all 10 innings.

Game 6, back in the Polo Grounds, was a see-saw contest, the Yankees
clinging to a 6-5 lead after eight innings. Then the Bombers bombed away
in the ninth, scoring five runs before the Giants could record a
single out, and they wound up with seven in the inning. The final score: 13-5, with the
sYankees winning yet another World Series.
